“Where did the name Blue Ox Trains come from?”
The answer to that is simple… Blue Ox Timber was a timber logging company doing business in North Georgia from 1978 until operations ceased in 2008. The first old rusted work horse of a logging truck was nicknamed “Blue Ox” after Babe in the Paul Bunyan fable. The name carried on with the well known company for 30 years. After ceasing operations, owner Steve Funsten started buying and selling HO trains. In no time at all, what started as a small hobby grew into a full time model train business with customers spanning the globe.
